Until any of us stop casting shadows and our very normal intentions manifest as "siddhis" (which others will no doubt notice) we ain't there yet. It's worth mentioning that brahma-vidya is often simply called "vidya" (non-dual pure knowledge), and that "vidya" is the Sanskrit word for the Tibetan "rigpa". Before one can integrate vidya, this unitary View, one has to grok experientially how to differentiate samsaric, karmic vision and nirvanic, pure vision. Both have their geometries paradoxically, but one is quite different from the other! Lundgrub seems to be grokking this fine distinction. Prems. ------------------------ Yahoo!
